A Good OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A Good Entertainments
Junior Town Hall Society gave enter
tainments in Billmyer's Hall last Friday
and Saturday evenings, which, consid-
ering that all were amateurs, were OF a
high order of merit. They presented
four interesting charades, and to praise
any single person who participated
would be an invidious distinction, for
all acted their parts remarkably well.
There were also several songs and reci-
tations which were rendered excellent
ly, and some very beautiful tahleauI.
The hall was filled both evenings by an
appreciative audience. The nice little
sum of fifty dollars, clear Of all ex-
penses, was handed over to the town-hall
fund from the performances. The young
ladies and gentlemen participating were
Misses Eta Porter, Nellie Wagner,
Rena Stonebraker, Fannie Poffen berger,
Fannie Crow, Sallie Miller, Annie

r.r.reII sermon and Services.

On Sunday night next, February ~
Rev. James McLaren, pastor OF the
Shepherdstown Methodist Episcopal
Church, will close his pastoral term
e years. ard preach his farewell ser
mon.
Mr.. McLaren has had successful
pa.torate. Under his ministry the
church has enjoyed prosperity. Fifty
three persons have professed CONVEX
sion. Thirty EIGHT of these joined his
church on probation. In the same time
nineteen have joined his church by let
ter-making in all, dividing his pas
torate, a total of fifty-seven.
During his present passionate Mr. NC
Laren has taken no vacation, has not
been out of his pulpit, except when
away at Conference-three Sundays In
three years. In filling his pulpit and
visiting his flock he has travelled in his
carriage and on horseback about three
thousand miles; made about nine hum
dreJ pastoral visits and preached three
hundred and fifty-eight sermons.
The Conference year now closing,
though the severest Of the three OF his
pasturate. I'm the financial stress of his
people. has been the most liberal in his
support. When Mr.. McLaren came to
his present field of labor the charge was
not self-sustainipg. On his suggestion,
approved by the proper officers Of the
church, Sh,rpsburg, Nd, was added to
Shepherdstown--the financial help
given by the Church Relief Fund taken
away aud the new charge, Shepherds
town and Sharp sburg, made self-sus-
tanning.
He informs us that not for fifteen
wears, at least, has his church been in as
good condition to prosecute its work in
this field as it is now.

ONE womAn,s HIST DRY.
A Tale of Misplaced Confidence, Intrigue
and Malevolence,


The late Abraham Beal was the agent of
that most humane society, the Prison associa-
ton, and few men knew more Of crime and
criminals. 1t was while conducting friend
through the Tombs that he narrated this in
cident. There was woman, he said, at
whose deathbed be had recently ministered.
She had once been marvel of beauty. She
was well born, well educated and gifted fsl
above the majority Of women who had eve,.
the same advantages she had enjoyed. While
quite young she had fallen In love with
dashing young fellow, to whom she gave her
very soul. Her affections were not shallow,
but mighty, unreasoning sea. She was
gloriousiy happy In her love- but soon cloud
came over her She became anxious, despond-
ent. and found when disgrace came upon her
that the rascal who had brought it had de-
serted her. Then came a mighty revolution
in her soul. Its boundless love rose into a
tornado Of hate. Trust and confidence were
stung and the poison brought forth fungus
growth OF rage and revenge. The petty be-
ing who had wrought her ruin seemed to her
malignancy paltry prey. All mankind was
the object Oh her fury, and out Of her disgrace
she rose with the deliberate purpose of ruin
ing as many men as her remorSeless clutches
had time and strength to grasp.
1t seemed as if satan had perceived in this
lost soul spirit worthy of himself, and had
placed at her disposal all his own resources of
cunning, deception, intrigue, persistency and
pitiless maievolence. Man after man was
lured by this smiling, bright eyed, ingenious
Lorelle from security and peace up to the
cliffs and down into the abysses Of crime,
thence 70 be hurled and there to perish, the
victims of her hate But even she could not
withstand the ravages of drug, disease and
excitement, and she came at last, as all such
self doomed spirits must, to rags, a garnet
and crust
Here she died, and when she felt her storm
tossed soul yielding to the very elements it
had raised, she sent for Mr.. Beal and made
him her father confessor. Priest she wanted
none; what could they do for her? Why tell
her of the Bibles Was there any promise be-
tween its covers to turn hell into paradisea
Why speak Of Christ's atonement! He died
to save human beings, not devils. No, all
she wanted was that Mr.. Beal would let her
her burning head. He placed it there, a head
still shapely. He looked into her eyes. still
large and lustrous though they glowed from
sunken caverns. And he listened while she |
told him of thirty-three lives that had been
sacrificed upon the altar of her revenge
Some had gone to the gallows, some had |
languished i'll prison, some had died of drink, |
but all had been branded with an eternal |

Death Of Katkoff, the Russian EDITOR
French Intrigues.

ICopyrght 1857 by the New York associated Press
BERLIN, Aug. 6-The French papers
here published bogus dispatches alleging
that the illness of Katkoff, the editor
arose from poison administed long time
ago by German agents. The Post tonight
expresses its disgust at this journalistic
basis and says that large number OF
French newspapers in commenting on NJ.
Katkoff's death made imputation represent
ing the leaders of the German policy as
professional PRISONERS and murderers.
Not one voice, the Post says, has been
raised In the whole OF France to protest
against the moral depravity their asper
sions betray. This bears testimony to the
terrorism exercised by the anti-German
party. the extent and nature Of which can
not long be overlooked by the German
government. The tone of the Post only
mildly indicates the tension Of the relations
with France. The bitterness Of popular
feeling is aggravated under fresh instances
of German batting.
The latest case Of this kind. which Is es-
pecially exciting to anger, is the closing of
factory for the manufacture OF German
TOYS belonging to the brothers Wcirsbach
and situated at Embermeine In the depart
ment of Moselle. The factory was closed
by the order of the perfect, Schnorb, who
played prominent part in the Schnabelle
affair. The workmen are given only three
days notice of their expulsion. 1t is re
ported that the delay In Prince Bismarcks
departure for Kissingen is due solely to the
gravity of the situation with France.
The socialists are working with renewed
energy, The Berlin group has apparently
obtained fresh supply of money and is
infusing fresh life into the whole organiza-
ton. Herr Liebknwcht has resumed the
political editorship of the Volks Blatt. The
central committee mas been reconstructed
and enlarged and now operates in closer re
lationship with the committees at Hamburg
and other centres The arrest of the COM
mittees would fail to repress action, as such
members have secret double who is
charged to fill his place in the event OF his
arrest.
Notwithstanding the exertions Of the
police, pamphlets and journals issued at
Zurich under the direction of a former
reichstag deputy, Herr Notifies, are being
circulated throughout Germany mmens
numbers and are beyond the power of sup
preston. The confidence of the socialist
leaders, witch has been dropping since the
recent elections, is Teviving with the en-
c0uraging reports Of the progress of the
case
